永徳元年（1381年）三月、義満の館へ（天皇の）行幸があった。七月、二条前関白・良基が太政大臣に任じられた。今出川公直が内大臣を辞した。源義満が内大臣に任じられた。年齢は二十四歳。義満と良基は互いに親密にして、公家・武家の政事を相談し合った。今年、南朝は元号を弘和と改元した。この時、前朝（南朝）の旧臣がなお残って、新葉和歌集を撰した。
二年（1382年）正月、山名氏清が河内を攻めて、南方の軍を破った。この時、楠正勝が敗れ、赤坂の城も落ちた。和田も戦いに負けて、和泉国は氏清に取られた。紀州もようやく山名になびいた。千剣破（はや）の城はなお残っていた。氏清の父・時氏はすでに因幡・伯耆など数か国を領していた。今や氏清の一族があちらこちらで合わせて十一か国の守護を兼ねたので、日本の六分の一を領しているとして、山名の家を「六分の（一殿）」と（称した）。

Minamoto no Yoshimitsu was appointed Naidaijin at the age of twenty-four. Yoshimitsu and Yoshimoto were on close terms and consulted each other on the affairs of the court nobility and the warrior houses. This year, the Southern Court changed its era name to Kōwa. At this time, former retainers of the previous dynasty (the Southern Court) still remained, and compiled the Shinyo Wakashū (anthology of Japanese poetry).
In the second year (1382), in the first month, Yamana Ujikiyo attacked Kawachi and defeated the southern forces. At this time, Kusunoki Masakatsu was defeated, and the castle of Akasaka also fell. Wada also lost in battle, and the province of Izumi was taken by Ujikiyo. Kishū (Kii Province) gradually came to submit to Yamana as well. The castle of Hayakabe still remained. Ujikiyo's father, Tokiuji, had already held several provinces including Inaba and Hōki. Now, with Ujikiyo's clan collectively holding the position of shugo (military governor) over eleven provinces in various parts of the country, it was said that they held one-sixth of Japan, and the Yamana clan came to be known as "(the lords of) one-sixth..."
